Where do ya get aluminum steering knuckles??? mine have been stripped out and i already bought stock replacements, think i paid 5 bucks for them. Are the aluminum ones expensive? would love to find every possible aluminum upgrade and make this thing bulletproof.

I was reluctant to spend all that money on the aluminum one's myself, but after replacing two right front knuckles in a 10 day period I was convinced it was going to keep happening. It's not only the Caldera. My HPI MT2 had the same steering knuckles, and they did the same thing. Once I replaced them with the aluminum, you could actually tighten down on them. I don't have the MT2 anymore to compare them, but they looked identical except the one's for the MT2 were only like $12 on ebay. Might be worth the risk of ordering them to try them out. Here's a link to the HPI part. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GPM-Alloy-Fr...#ht_1384wt_952
